Superbly balanced in all registers and extremely easy to control. Blowing is effortless and the notes just fall from the saxophone. This felt very open, allowing for plenty of detail to come through. At quiet volumes it spoke with incredible clarity and the notes were well in tune, not falling off at all. And at higher volumes it allowed me to be very vocal in the sound I was making and I could push plenty of air through knowing that the horn was not going to let me down. This is a big tenor saxophone but the action was so light and the keys just seemed to fall right underneath my fingers. For the altissimo I had to use some slightly different fingerings for some of the notes, but again the notes spoke clearly and were amazingly bigger and fatter sounding than on any other sax I have played. Down the other end the notes came through with great authority.Overall this is a fantastic saxophone and I couldn't put it down. There is a trend at the moment towards silver saxophones and if Yanagisawa keep making horns like this then the trend will continue for a long time." Tristan@sax.co.uk
